Parenting Therapists in Elgin, SC
I have extensive experience working with individuals navigating school and work related stress, coming-of-age transitions, anxiety, depression, identity development, and parents of neurodivergent children.
My approach is collaborative, and client-centered. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based interventions. Sessions are tailored to each client’s unique needs, with a focus on building coping skills, emotional regulation, and confidence during times of stress or transition.

Life is messy, people are weird, and sometimes it can feel like your brain is working against itself. I’m an engaged, collaborative therapist who shows up authentically, because I can’t ask you to do the same without meeting you there. I’ll validate what’s real, call out patterns that are keeping you stuck, and stay with you through the crying, venting, and questioning everything, sometimes all in the same session. If you’re looking for a formal, reserved therapy style, I may not be the right fit for you. But if you want a therapist who’s deeply human, a little sarcastic, and fully in your corner? Hi. I’m your girl.

It takes strength to admit you're dealing with something that you just don't know how to beat and to reach out for help. Maybe you feel your life has been set back by depression, anxiety, shame or self-image struggles, relationship difficulties, spiritual growth challenges, addictions, goal-setting, men's issues (and young men's issues), or finding purpose in life. If you'd like to work through these or other issues with someone who will focus on understanding you rather than judging you, then I would love to help.

I usually work with adolescents and their parents to address the barriers within their relationships that are preventing cohesiveness within the family.
I believe that the parents are the medicine to providing their child with the bright future that they deserve. There is no better vehicle for change than a parent's love for their child. I get to come alongside that parent and help them overcome whatever barriers are preventing them from seeing growth in either their child's life or their own. My focus

As a counselor at Stewart Behavioral Health, I believe it's important for clients to feel that they are in a safe and non-judgmental environment, and as their counselor I strive to provide this type of atmosphere. Each treatment and session is tailored to the needs of the individual client and their presenting concerns. I allow the client to set the goals of therapy and help guide them if they need it. I have worked for Christian-based counseling agencies in the past, and if religion is important, this is something we can focus on. I also have experience with defiance, ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
